SDL_LoadWAV3
Loads a wav from a file path.
Usage
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
bool SDL_LoadWAV(const char *path, SDL_AudioSpec *spec, Uint8 **audio_buf, Uint32 *audio_len);
Header file
Defined in SDL3/SDL_audio.h
Overview
This is a convenience function that is effectively the same as:
-
SDL_LoadWAV_IO(SDL_IOFromFile(path, "rb"), true, spec, audio_buf, audio_len);
Function parameters
- path
-
the file path of the WAV file to open.
- spec
-
a pointer to an
SDL_AudioSpec
that will be set to the WAVE data's format details on successful return.
- audio_buf
-
a pointer filled with the audio data, allocated by the function.
- audio_len
-
a pointer filled with the length of the audio data buffer in bytes.
Return value
Returns true on success. audio_buf will be filled with a pointer to an allocated buffer containing the audio data, and audio_len is filled with the length of that audio buffer in bytes.
This function returns false if the .WAV file cannot be opened, uses an unknown data format, or is corrupt; call SDL_GetError () for more information.
When the application is done with the data returned in audio_buf , it should call SDL_free () to dispose of it.
Thread safety
It is safe to call this function from any thread.
